Beet salsa is a refreshing and vibrant salsa that adds a pop of color and flavor to any dish. Made with fresh beets, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice, this salsa is perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or as a healthy snack. The natural sweetness of the beets pairs perfectly with the tangy tomatoes and the bright flavors of the cilantro and lime, creating a salsa that is both flavorful and refreshing. Whether you're serving it with chips, tacos, or grilled meats, beet salsa is sure to be a hit.

SEARED FISH WITH BEET SALSA
I made this with cod, but you can also use a firmer fish, which you can grill or broil as well as sear and bake, as I do in this recipe. Cut the beets and apple very small - about 1/8 inch dice. The sweet crunch of the apple contributes texture and juice to the tangy/pungent salsa, which is delicious with all sorts of foods, not just fish. If you're vegetarian or vegan, try it with grains; it's especially nice with red quinoa.

Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Stir together, taste and adjust salt. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the oil. Tilt the pan to film the bottom. Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
- Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.

- Season the salsa to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
